<\/a>Blog post by Patroklos Papapetrou<\/a>, originally appeared on his\u00a0blog<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>Republished with permission.\u00a0Thanks Patroklos<\/a>\u00a0for your active participation during the unconference.<\/em><\/p>\n Last week I had the chance to attend both as a speaker and an attendee my first un-conference. Actually I would categorize ITAKE<\/a>\u00a0as a mix of conference and un-conference. The overall agenda and the way the event is structured is very\u00a0intelligent and it makes people communicate more and exchange ideas in various ways. To be honest it\u2019s the first event I attended where speakers and attendees are all together, writing code,\u00a0pairing, solving problems while having dinner, discussing, listening and sharing knowledge. It doesn\u2019t matter if you are a famous keynote speaker or a junior developer who just graduated from the university. Everyone can talk and discuss for every possible topic that interests you.\u00a0Here are the \u201clittle\u201d things I loved about ITAKE<\/a>.<\/p>\n My\u00a0contribution:<\/p>\n I had the chance to meet also all the organizers and the folks behind ITAKE un-conference. You rock guys and I\u2019m pretty sure that the event will become better and better every day. Thank you for having me part of this year\u2019s event and looking forward to seeing you around Europe in another (un-)conference.<\/p>\n
